VOL. XXI. WASHINGTON. A Burst About, the Old Flag—Conllr IMPERTINENCE OF THE GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC. Washington - , April 10. — The Grand Army of the Republic last night passed resolutions condemning the Washington I.lght Infantry for not carrying the United States ifag, while acting ns escort to the Norfolk City Guard, now on a visit to this city, and cluiming that said company refused or neglected to bear the flag of our country, and it is believed it has been done in deference to the wishes of the company from Virginia. The Washington Light Infantry, composed principally of Government clerks, is commanded by Col. Wm. G. Moore, who was pay master in the Union army, and private secretary to President Johnson. The company does not errry the flag as they claim a single company is not entitled to u flag, as that distinction belongs only to regiments and battalions. CONFIRMATIONS. Andrew P. McCormick, to be U. 8. District Judge for the Northern Dis trict of Texas; Thos. H. Dickson, postmaster at Vicksburg. FORTY-SIXTH CONGRESS. IlOVSK. Washington, April 10.—The com mittees were not announced this morning, but the House, after read ing the journal, wont into committee of the whole on the legislative appro priation bill, of which, there are still twenty-live printed pages to be dis posed of before taking up the con tested portion of tlie bill. McMahon, offered an amendment, tlie concluding portion of which says : In order to provtde for the pay ment of pension arrearages the Sec retary of the Treasury be directed to issue immediately in payment there of the ten'millious in legal tenders, now kept in tlie Treasury as a special fund for redemption of fractional cur rency. Garfield made a poiut of order that the amendment wus not germane to the bill. After quite an animated discussion, in which McMahon, Kelly, Weaver and others insisted that there was no reason for keeping tills $10,000,000 in the Treasury, tlie Speaker decided the amendment in order, and after being additionally amended so as to provide that fractional currency pre sented for redemption shall be re deemed in any moneys at the Treas ury at the time the same is presented, McMahon’s amendment was adopted. Tlie House committees will be an nounced to-inorrow. SENATE, The Senate resumed the considera tion of the New Hampshire Senato rial case. Haulsbury argued against the admission of Bell to a seat. After a brief discussion yeas and nays were taken and Bell was ad mitted to a seat in the Senate by a vote of 35 to 28. The army bill was brought before the Senate, after which executive ses-. sion and tlie Senate adjourned till to morrow. NATIONAL MATTERS. Georgia Place* oil C'omnilttee**-*4Jeor- ffla Four Per Cent*—Wove to Relelve the Pre**ure. Special to Constitution J Washington, April 0.—Speaker Randall will not announce the com mittees until Friday, but I am able to give in advance the disposition of Georgia representatives : Mr. Nich- olls, on foreign affairs; Mr. Smith, on military affairs and patents; Mr. Cook, chairman public buildings and grounds; Mr. Blunt, on appropria tions, and chairman of expenditures of departments of justice; Mr. Per sons, on agriculture and navy af fairs; Mr. "Hammond, on judiciary; Mr. Stephens, on rules, and chnir- man of eoinnge and weight; Mr. Felton, on ways anti means; Mr. Speer, on elections. Commissioner Ruum lias the Geor gia four per cent, bonds under con sideration. He is to determine the question whether they are liable to the tax of ten per cent. He finds some knotty questions in his way, but it is thought that he will decide that they are liable to the tax. He is being pressed to make this deci sion by leading financial men, be cause the use of these bonds as a cir culating medium will be followed by other States and result in disturbing the present status of the currency. B. Washington, D. C., April!).—We have tuken strong ground to-day in favor of financial relief to the people. The ways and means, banking and currency, and coinage committees will take preference, and in the Dem ocratic caucus it was unanimously resolved not to adjourn over Monday and thus general legislation is ren dered possible. Emory Speer. Gomi i.rniAi. oepartment. Merloow <’liurgc» Afralnat LeDuc. Special to Courier-Journal.1 Washington, April 8.—Several weeks ago, Prof. C. V. Riley, Ento mologist of the Agricultural Depart ment, and formerly State Entomolog ist of Missouri, sent in his resignation to Commissioner LeDuc. It caused general surprise, for he was known tobeabout the only scientific man connected with the whole establish ment. He has during the past ten days received from scientific gentle- men all over tlie country numerous letters inquiring into the cause of his resignation; and to all he has replied that he could not, out of respect to himself, remain longer under Gen eral Le Due. In conversation to day, Prof. Riley made certain state ments that will be likely to lead to a Congressional investigation. , He remarked Unit he hud not cared so much about tlie personal effronts shown him by Le Due, but he did object to the latter assuming every thing connected witli his special de partment. Furthermore, he charges, and stunds ready to prove, that Sir. Le Due has misappropriated the funds set apart for the commission appointed to investigate the ravages of tlie cotton worm in the Sot®. The Professor says that this fund was so drawn upon that he could not ope rate with auy success. It was used hi clerk lure, and he knows that a draughtsman sent out to Minnesota to make plans for a new house for Le Hue was paid from this appropriation. The Commissioner is about to have an interesting investigation on his hands. It will be remembered that Borne time since the charge was pub licly made that Le Due had misap propriated the funds for seeds. This can be proved. It amounts to several thousands of dollars. Since tlie resig nation of Prof. Riley, the place he vacated has been offered by Le Due to Prof. Cyrus Thomas, of Illinois; but that gentleman lias written a caustic letter of refusal to the Com missioner, giving “under the circum stances” as his reason. Prof. Riley still remains in Washington at the head of the committee to investigate the grasshopper ravages, which com mission is under the Interior Depart ment, and has no connection with the Agricultural Bureau. Debate on the Bell Cnee Untie Quite Lively by N»U Carpenter. Special Telegram to the Courier- Journal.] Washington, April 8.—The feat ure of the day in the debate on the Bell case in the Sennte was the speech by Matt Carpenter, who took the ground maintained by the majority of the Democrats, that Bell should not be seated, aH the Constitution does not provide for the appointment of a Senator by the Governor of a State when the vacancy is occasioned by the expiration of a regular term and the absence of tlie Legislature, which will not meet in New Hamp shire until fall. Carpen’ter was in the best trim, and in the cross-tiring which arose out of his speech display ed some of his ojd-time ability. He read from the record of tlie last Con gress, in which Blaine is down ns saying that the Governor would not have the authority to appoint; and, ill Hie reading of Blaine’s remarks, Carpenter so emphasized them as to cause great laughter at the Maine statesman. He also charged his col league, Angus Cameron, with hav ing been guilty of a trick in this very matter last Con gress; and when Cameron undertook to explain he rapped him severely by reading the record on him. He also dealt some personal thrusts at McMil lan of Minnesota, and, altogether, made the day quite lively. There will be a number of Democrats who will vote to seat Bell, but probably, with one or two exceptions besides Carpenter, tlie Republicans will be solid in favor of Bell’s credentials. As Carpenter said in the beginning of his argument, there ought to be no party consideration on tlie vote, as, decided either way, it made no differ ence as to the working of the Demo crats. No vote was readied on the question. •—. . ♦ . Marshal Flts*lmons Again. Washington, April 0.—Attorney General Devens lias written to Mar shal Fitzsinions on the subject of the recent decision of Judge Woods as to the execution of commissioners’ war rants. The letter states that as the Judge has decided that all warrants must be executed, the Marshal will have to govern himself accordingly, but suggests that he use discretion in the matter, with the fact always be fore him that the money is running very low and expenses" must be re duced in some way. The Attorney General also thanks the Marshnl anil District Attorney for the stand they took in the matter gnd the co-opera tion evinced by them to reduce ex penses, and regrets that the Judge of the Court could not take file same view as to the execution of warrants that other Judges have taken, and which have resulted in great saviug to the Department.

Walter Evans was nominated for Governor.

He bad heard a great deal about the value of Mr. Sherman’s opinions, and how a great many peopl j went to him to get an opinion ; and John, who never had had, nor wns likely to have, a law suit or other difficulty for a luwyer io help Hi in from, thought he would have had an “opinion.” "Well, John, what can I do for you?” said Mr. S., when John, in ills turn, was shown into the room. “Why, lawyer,” replied John, I happened to lie in town, and having nothing to do, 1 thought I would come and get your opinion.” “State your case, John. Wliat’s tlie matter V” “Oil, nothing. I ain’t got no law suit, I only want to get one of your opinions; they say they're very val uable.” “But, John, about wliat?” “Oh, anything, sir take your pick and choose.” Mr. Sherman, seeing tlie notions of liis client on the matter in band, took his pen, ond writing a few words, folded them up and handed them to John, who carefully placed tlie paper in bis pocket. “What’s to pay, sir?” “Four and sixpence.” Yankee money, 75c. When John returned home the next morning, lie found his wife, who pretty much took tlie lead in his business matters, anxiously discuss ing with his chief furm servant the propriety of getting in a large quan tity of oats on that day, which had been cut on the one previous, or un dertaking some other labor. John was appealed to to settle the question, but lie could not decide. At lengtli lie said: “I’ll tell you wliat, Polly, I’ve been to a lawyer and got an opinion that cost me four and sixpence. There it is—read her out; its a law yer’s writing, and I cun’t make head or tail of it.” John, by tlie way, could not read tlie plainest print, bnt Polly, who was something of a scholar, opened the paper and read us follows: “Never put off till to-morrow wliat can lie done to-day.” “Enough said!” cried John, “them oats must be got in.” And tliey were got in, and the same night such a storm came on as otherwise would liuvc ruined them entirely. John often afterwards consulted this opinion and acted upon it, and to this day entertains a high opinion of lawyers’ opinions generally, and of tlie lamented Mr. Sherman’s in particular. For Bent.

A Mluffnlar Scene That Followotl a Vlrslnla Hanging—The Ball Nuper- •IIUoiiMly Begun at Midnight — Xe- ffroe* Fighting fur Bits of the Gallon* Rope, Mold by an Old Voudou Wo man. New Kent Court-house, March 26.—This morning at 5 o’clock closed one of the most remarkable balls ever known in tlie history of Virginia—a gallows ball. Yesterday two negroes, Patrick Smith and Julius Christian, were hanged for murder, and the hanging attracted hundreds from every part of tlie country. Tlie ne groes came in immense numbers. It wns a gain day for them, and they were all in holiday attire. The field in which tlie men were hanged looked like a country fail-. Booths were erected. An enterprising Yankee hud a side show and educated pig, and itinerant musicians enlivened tlie occasion. After the hanging the crowds of whites went away, but the negroes bung about the Held mid around tlie shallow graves of the felons until dark. Tliey had de termined to have a ball, but accord ing to some superstition among them it could not begin until after tlie mid night hour. A large burn near the field was swept clean liy hundreds of willing hands. At 12 o’clock it was crowded. On a small stage in a cor ner the slnnd for tlie musicians was placed, which was occupied by four banjo players and one fiddler, in tlie middle of the room was another stand, upon which the man who called out the figures stood, it was a weird scene. Boys stood in the cor ners of tlie room, with pine knot torches, which filled the place with black smoke, and made a nitirkv light. At 12:15 tlie festivities began. Peter Johnson, a burly tobacco hand, occupied the stand in the middle of the room, and sang out in stentorian voice: “Choose your partners.” The strangely made-up orchestra struck up, “The Mississippi Sawyer,” a valid Ethiopian air, ami due'lng be gan. As the music went on, tlie musicians and dancers grew wild ami wilder, and shotted mul sang as if possessed liy the devil. Such ex clamations as “I could die dis mo ment!” “Oh, liord, how happy I is!” and the like were heard, especially from tlie women. At about 2 o’clock Lucinda Macon, an old Voudou ne- gress, suddenly made her appearance in tlie barn. The Musicians and dancers slopped in terror. The old hag slipped Into the middle of the room, and then began a series of strange incantation scenes. The “trick” doctress was dressed in an old blue and white checkered dress, and had in her hand a large bundle, tied up in a red hankerchlef. She opened it, and after muttering a lot of gibberish, in what the negroes say here was an African dialect, she said she had the rope with which the men were hanged, mid that after she had touched any bit of it tlmt piece would secure the possessor against the evil designs of any person who tricked them or poisoned them. She cut it up in small bits, and over each bit she muttered and sprinkled some thing from an old jug, and then she sold it for fifty cents. Tlie rush for these pieces of rope was great. The men fought for them. This ceremony wns kept up until 21 A. M. Tlie rope did not go around, and when tills became known, those who did not get a piece acted like fiends, and begged the hag for thread only. She told them that nothing else would effect the charm except small particles of clothing in wliicli the men were buried. A large party then started oft'to tlie grave under neath the gullows, for the purpose of disiiitering tlie bodies and bringing back the garments. They soon re turned in horror to tlie* ball-room, swearing that tliey had seen the two men who were hanged walking around the grave. The ling added to the excitement by declaring, at tlie top of her voice, singing out the words, that Smith and t'lirfstain had not died, because she had given them a charm. The secret is that tlie visit of the dancers to the grave frighten ed off two resurrectionists who were after the bodies for the doctors. Tlie dancing and singing was kept up until 5 o'clock. II was announced by the voudou doctress that all who danced at tlie gallows ball would be able to dunce as long as they lived, no matter if tliey lived to lie Id. N|mnl*h Merlnon. It is said that tlie origin of the Spanish Merinos dates back to the Roman civilization, and thence to Greece. The Romans had a herd which they called Turrentinc, from Tarrentiuo, a Greek colony. Hence, they were called also Greek sheep. Their wool is of exceeding fineness, and it is related of them that they were protected liy coverings of skins, carefully housed, combed and bullied witli oil and wine. From this wc may infer that at that time they were highly bred. Columella, who lived before the Christian era, relates that ills unde, M. Columella, transported from Cadiz to his farm lands, which were In Boctica, some wild rams of admirable whiteness, brought from Africa, and crossed them witli the coveted or Turrentinc ewes. The oil- spying prod need rams with aflnolleece. Strabo says in his account of tlie geography of Spain, that in the time of the Emperor Tiberius, wool of great fineness and beauty was export ed from Hudilanin, a part of Boetiea, and that the rams were sold in that province, for improving the breed, for a talent each or about $1,000. When tlie Roman empire was over run by the barbarians, the Tarren- tine stock of Italy, being very ten der, became extinct; but tlie improved stock of Boetiea, living in the moun tains, survived, and perpetuated by tlie Moors, who, skilled in the tex tile arts, could appreciate its value, still exists as the Merinos of Spain. If this view is correct, the Merino is j tlie most important surviving relic of j tlie material civilization of the Greeks and Romans. Florence, the actor, tells this story of the Elder Booth: “He was play ing ‘Hamlet’ in Virginia one night, and had no skull. A little darkic volunteered to gut one. When Booth was leaving the theatre, lie felt some j one tugging [at his coat tail. He! looked around and saw the little brunette. “What will you have, sonny?” “Flense, sub, I wants dad dy’s skull, sail.” “Buddy's skull?” “Yes, sail; dut used ter’bo do old man’s head-piece afore tlie mewel kicked him, an’ mammy’ll lick me ter rage ef I lose it.” — Ex. A ('roivlni; Doff. There is a curiosity at tlie little vil lage of Brandon, North Texas, in tlie shape of a crowing dog. This canine is the property of a citizen, J. B. Brandon. The animal lias generally made his couch in the chicken house, directly under the roost. It seems that the dog has become so accus tomed to the periodical nocturnal crowing of his friends, the roosters, that through sheer imitation, he has got to crowing as regularly as they. At the midnight crowing the canine begins with his feathered fellow-lod gers, and crows as long as any of them; and so accurate an imitation docs lie make of it that liis master, Mr. Bran don, though standing right over him, cannot tell his crowing from a real cock’s. The perfection of the dog in his new role is quite astonishing.— /Ire ha nr/e, MARKET REPORTS. By Telegraph to the Euquirer-Kun.
